Faithworks Homelessness
Changing homelessness together – one life at a time
Faithworks Homelessness puts people at the centre of everything we do, helping them rebuild their lives with confidence and hope through practical support, trusted relationships and lasting community connections.
Half-time
A welcoming first point of contact for people sleeping rough, offering practical support, advice, showers, laundry facilities and connections into accommodation and specialist services.
Our team takes time to welcome, listen, understand each person’s situation and help them create a plan. It often starts with a call to our Helpline: 07842 174241 (Mon-Fri 10-2pm).
Alongside practical support such as showers, laundry facilities and phone charging, we offer one-to-one conversations, guidance and referrals to accommodation providers, health services, and specialist organisations.
Thursday Club
Helping people stay housed through friendship, practical support, activities and community connections that build confidence, resilience and hope for the future.
Finding accommodation is only part of the journey. Thursday Club exists to help people remain in housing and build a positive future.
Each week we provide a welcoming community where people can find routine, belonging and encouragement at a critical stage in rebuilding their lives. We help them tackle challenges like managing money, but also have fun learning to cook or Iranian dancing!
Friendship and Support
Volunteer friendship and support teams help people rebuild confidence, reduce isolation and develop the relationships needed for long-term stability and wellbeing.
Our trained volunteers walk alongside people as they settle into accommodation and establish a new chapter in life. They offer encouragement, practical help, support at appointments and, most importantly, genuine friendship.
Working through local churches and community groups, these relationships help reduce isolation and strengthen resilience: as one person put it, they give “time, love and trust”
Ways to help
Homelessness is something we can change together. Here are six practical ways you can make a difference:
- Signpost someone in need to our Homelessness Helpline (07842 174241)
- Make a regular financial donation to our “Safesleep 100” fund
- Donate underwear, toiletries and practical essentials
- Volunteer with Faithworks Homelessness
- Pray for those who are experiencing homelessness, and those who help
- Invest in one of our Hope into Action homes and help create more move-on accommodation (see more below)
Every contribution helps somebody move towards a safer, more stable future.
